## Text
(a) The Secretary may prescribe by regulation fees for inspecting or examining a small passenger vessel or a sailing school vessel.
(b) When an inspection or examination under this part of a documented vessel or a foreign vessel is conducted at a foreign port or place at the request of the owner or managing operator of the vessel, the owner or operator shall reimburse the Secretary for the travel and subsistence expenses incurred by the personnel assigned to perform the inspection or examination.

(Pub. L. 9889, Aug. 26, 1983, 97 Stat. 517; Pub. L. 102587, title V, § 5211, Nov. 4, 1992, 106 Stat. 5076; Pub. L. 116283, div. G, title LVXXXV [LXXXV], § 8513(b), Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 4761.)
## Notes
Historical and Revision Notes Revised sectionSource section (U.S. Code) 331746:390a(b)46:382b1 Section 3317 provides the regulatory authority for prescribing fees for the inspection of small passenger vessels and sailing school vessels. Although section 2110 generally prohibits fees of this nature, this provision is consistent with the exception that permits specific statutory authorization for fee collection. Subsection (b) requires the reimbursement of expenses for the conduct of an inspection or examination at a foreign port or place when done there for the convenience of the owner or operator of the vessel.
Editorial Notes
Amendments2021—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 116283 substituted “operations and support” for “operating expenses”. 1992—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 102587 substituted “under this part of a documented vessel or a foreign vessel” for “under this chapter of a documented vessel”.
